Medicines to 200 terminal cancer patients in India

Summary

Karunashraya, based in Bangalore, provides free palliative care to terminally ill cancer patients. Through this project you can alleviate pain and suffering due to terminal cancer, to patients being cared for at Karunashraya.
Most of our patients are from very poor economic background and your contributions will help ease pain and suffering during the last days of their lives.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Terminally ill cancer patients are those who are left with no further treatment options. Palliative care, which aims to minimize pain and suffering, is the only way to provide comfort to such patients during their last days.
A large number of terminally ill cancer patients in India cannot afford such care and are left to suffer till the end, without being cared for. There is an acute need for free palliative care for cancer patients in India.

Potential Long Term Impact

The project will provide free medicines to about 200 patients and enable Karunashraya to reach out to large number of needy suffering cancer patients.
